Transport Consultancy & Verification of Competency

🔍 What is a Verification of Competency?

A Verification of Competency (VoC) is a structured assessment used to verify that workers are currently competent to operate plant, equipment, or heavy vehicles safely, legally, and in accordance with their role. Holding a ticket or licence is no longer enough, employers must be able to demonstrate that competency is current and applicable to today’s work conditions.

VoC assessments are evidence-based and align with the National Assessment Instrument (NAI) framework, ensuring they meet the same standards required during formal licensing.

🎯 Why VoC Matters in Transport

VoC is a key tool for transport and logistics businesses to:

• Meet Chain of Responsibility (CoR) obligations 
• Maintain NHVR compliance and audit readiness 
• Reduce incidents and prevent liability in the event of an investigation 
• Identify skill gaps before they result in costly or dangerous mistakes 

💡 Beck’s assessors are experienced in ACT and NSW licensing requirements and use their frontline industry knowledge to deliver practical, high-quality assessments.

👷 Who Needs a VoC?

VoC assessments are ideal for:

• New drivers or plant operators entering your workplace 
• Existing staff operating under new equipment, routes or conditions 
• Subcontractors or agency drivers working under your duty of care 
• Return-to-work drivers or those coming off extended leave 
• Businesses wanting to verify and document internal compliance practices
